Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas turbines have dominated aircraft propulsion for more than 60 years, and have been a driving factor for the growth and success of the aviation industry and air transport. With success comes responsibility and the requirement for sustainable growth. Meeting future environmental targets while ensuring commercial success and uncompromised safety standards requires an unprecedented investment in research and technology. Given the urgency and the ambition, evolutionary, synergistic, and disruptive technologies need to be developed in the next 10–20 years. Advances in fuels and energy storage solutions that include hydrogen, ammonia, SAF, and others, combined with batteries and the introduction of electrification, digitalisation, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, smart sensors, energy harvesting, and the exponential increase in computational power can revolutionise the design and operation of the gas turbine. In this context, this Special Issue on Gas Turbines and the Environment is focused on concepts and technologies that will lead to a new, carbon free, and low emissions era for aviation and air-transport. Papers concerning the following topics are of particular interest and highly encouraged:
- Fuels and combustion;
- Novel cycles, engine configurations, and propulsion architectures;
- Component technologies;
- Control strategies and sensor technologies;
- Green operations and life cycle aspects;
- Ground infrastructure for hydrogen and electrified applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
